Worked example

On a $600,000 property the duty is $21,330 for the first $500,000 plus $5.50 for every $100 over $500,000 ($5,500), a total of $26,830. Because duty is charged per $100 or part of $100, a value of $450,050 rounds up to 1,501 units over $300,000: $18,835.

How it works

RevenueSA bands: $1 per $100 up to $12,000; $120 + $2 per $100 over $12,000; $480 + $3 over $30,000; $1,080 + $3.50 over $50,000; $2,830 + $4 over $100,000; $6,830 + $4.25 over $200,000; $8,955 + $4.75 over $250,000; $11,330 + $5 over $300,000; $21,330 + $5.50 over $500,000.
Every band is charged per $100 or part of $100, so this tool rounds each part up.
Stamp duty applies to residential land and primary production land. RevenueSA Information Circular 103 says no duty arises on a transfer of qualifying land (land used for neither purpose, such as commercial or industrial land) under contracts entered into on or after 1 July 2018, so this calculator is not for that land.
Foreign persons and trusts acquiring residential land pay a surcharge of 7% of the value, in addition to duty (RevenueSA, for transactions since 1 January 2018).
Not modelled: stamp duty relief for eligible first home buyers (new homes, off-the-plan apartments and vacant land), seniors downsizing relief, concessions, and other charges such as registration fees. RevenueSA notes that changes to how qualifying land and residential land are treated took effect on 15 September 2026, so check its site for the transaction you have.
